Describe, in less than 300 words, a short essay on a subject of personal importance to you. You may choose any topic. Examples include: an event which has influenced you or a family member/friend/person who had a significant influence on you.
The indelible inspirations and values inculcated by the trio - my father, Beethoven and Einstein.
It all started when I was young my father had ignited my passion for science. On top of it, he also inspired me to become a scientist in the future. Subsequently, as I grew older, I learnt about Beethoven tenacious attitude. Despite all odds, he made his mark and carry on living a fulfilling life. From Beethoven himself, I have realized that hard work is required to success. Nevertheless, the crux is that he had an unyielding spirit in life which taught me to be resilient and be tenacious. At around the age for 17, I learnt about Einstein life. Not about science, but it was his love for violin make me understood and be certain of my future. Both Beethoven and Einstein are similar such that, they enlightened me to think and work differently from the norm so as to discover and improve and to usher in a new era.
All these years I have been indulging in an idyllic life, until I entered JC. It was then I decided that I will dedicate all my time in physics and piano so that I could make a mark in the future and contribute back to the society. As such, I covet for the scholarship as it can offer me more opportunities for me to pursue my interest at a greater depth, to develop leadership, equip myself with skills which are unable to learn elsewhere. Lastly, I wish to reduce the tuition fees so that my father does not have to worry about the sum of money every month.
I have a dream; to have the world revolutionize science and use it to salvage and aid most of our chronic ailments.
